Thats a wrap!

Below are a few notes as we close out the 20-21 school year and prepare for the 21-22 school year:

• Summer Office Hours: Effective June 14th-June 18th the LMS main office will be open from 7am-2pm. The LMS office will be closed June 21st - early August (we do not have a school calendar for 21-22 yet, the office will reopen three weeks before the first days of school).

• 21-22 Planning: We will be returning to a 6 period day for the 21-22 school year. Each student will have 4 core classes and two exploratory classes. Core classes will be with the same team of teachers for the entire year. Exploratory classes will rotate every 12 weeks, with the exception of Band and Spanish 1, which are year long classes. Students cannot pick exploratory classes at LMS, exploratory classes are randomly assigned.

  • Schedule Release: We plan to release student schedules in ParentVue and StudentVue the week of August 16th.

  • WEB Dates: Since we do not know the first day of school, we have two tentative WEB training and 6th grade orientation dates: August 9th or August 23rd: SOAR 8th Grade Leader Training. August 11th or August 25th: 6th Grade Orientation.

  • LMS Open House/Building Tour: Will take place the Wednesday evening before the first day of school.

  • School Pictures: Will take place during school at some point in September.

  • 7th Grade Immunizations: All 7th grade students must be updated on all vaccinations/waivers prior to the first day of school. Please contact your health care provider or the Health Department with any further questions.

8th grade recognition

With the recent changes in the Executive Orders on June 1st, we are excited to announce we can now host the 8th Grade Recognition all at once in the LMS gymnasium. The recognition will take place on June 11th at 7:45am in the LMS gymnasium. Each student will be allowed two guests, we currently can have 50% capacity in the gym. Two guests, means exactly that. Due to the capacity limits, a younger sibling, regardless of age, would count as a guest. Guest passes are non transferable to other families. We have crunched all the numbers and will be near capacity with each 8th grade student bringing two guests. We ask that you enter through the main doors where you will be greeted by LMS staff members. We will not be handing out tickets, we will keep track of attendance as you enter the building.

Schools are still directed to wear masks while we are inside. Therefore, masks will be required for all attendees.

washington dc trip

We are excited to announce plans for the 21-22 8th Grade Washington DC trip. The trip will take place for next years 8th grade students on May 19th - May 24th. The cost of the trip is $898.00 for students and $998.00 for parents. The cost does include travel insurance in the event the school or individuals have to cancel the trip. Some of our fundraising initiatives have taken a hit due to the pandemic. For example, Alpine currently is not accepting receipts as they do not have the staff to calculate them at the time. Thus, we will keep you updated on future fundraising opportunities and other details as they become available.
